The December 8th fair that opens Agnone's "month of fire"
The Immacolata Concezione Fair is held in Agnone, in the province of Isernia, on December 8th, the day of the liturgical feast of the Immaculate Conception. It is one of the traditional winter fairs on the calendar of the town in Alto Molise and symbolically marks the start of the Christmas season.
Market and stalls liven up the streets of the historic center, while December 8th coincides with the start of Agnone's famous "month of fire", the calendar of fire rituals that culminates in the great 'Ndocciata and the 'Ndocciata della Tradizione on December 24th. The Immaculate Conception fair thus intertwines Marian devotion, Christmas atmosphere, and the deepest identity of Agnone, the Italian capital of fire rituals.
